This spring, I had the privilege of mentoring a bright and dedicated student from the Far East through the Basics of Camp Counselors course in our Counselors Online Academy. Eva engaged deeply with the material and brought thoughtful reflections and active participation to every module.
At the end of the course, she shared this encouraging note:
“It was a real joy to stay connected with you and study at the Counselors Online Academy! I truly learned many new and valuable things. God bless you!”
Moments like this remind me how God continues to shape lives — whether through camps, retreats, or the flexible space of our Counselors Online Academy, where students can learn at their own pace and receive personal feedback from mentors.
This month, I’m working with several students from our member camp that weren't able to attend our regional staff training workshops in the spring. They’re now going through the Counselors Online Academy together to prepare their team for the upcoming camp season — and I’m thankful we can offer this kind of support when it’s most needed.
